I have been watching a 1-season show called Clickbait on Netflix. It is an interesting crime show that centers around the modern facination of technology.
My parents, who are in their 70's and 80's both like it and recommended it to me.
Might not be your thing, but probably worth a try.

I have a few:
The best thing I have found lately is Julia — about Julia Child’s life and how her show took off. The actress playing Julia is wonderful — you gotta love her — just like the real Julia Child. It is worth subscribing to HBO just to watch this. (They are dropping the episodes weekly and I think there are maybe two left in the queue.)
Ken Burns Ben Franklin (PBS)
I recently stumbled across Abbott Elementary. It is about teachers and other staff at a school in Philly. It concentrates on the teachers. It has a nice, sweet touch and some likable characters in funny situations. . .
Abbott Elementary is just a happy little show about a year-in-the-life of a school staff, on the job. (I figured it would get canceled because it is neither raunchy nor is it heavy handed or just plain stupid. But I just read that it will be back. I guess “Rotten Tomatoes” loved it. I did.)
. . .And as a bonus, it does not have a laugh track. (I hate laugh tracks. Who doesn’t though.)
That’s all I’ve got for now. Anybody else?
